Will Florida Prosecute Holder's People?
American Thinker ^ | 3-30-12 | Russ Vaughn

Posted on 03/30/2012 5:14:10 AM PDT by SJackson

For those of you who have been wondering, yes, it is probably illegal for the New Black Panthers to offer a 'dead or alive" reward for George Zimmerman. Over at Pajamas Media, J. Christian Adams, the former justice department lawyer who resigned in protest against Eric Holder's refusal to prosecute this same NBPP organization for voter intimidation in Philadelphia, has spelled out just how the hate group's actions may be prosecutable by Florida authorities:

So what crimes may have the New Black Panthers committed in Florida with their threats toward George Zimmerman?

The ONLY way Trayvon would have had been justified with his assault would be if Zimmerman actually did directly confront him in a beligerent manner, instead of just trying to follow Trayvon. From there, if Zimmerman brandished his gun, or Trayvon noticed the firearm and had concerns that Zimmerman was getting ready to draw it, he would have grounds to respond with force in his own self-defense, as this was NOT a citizen's arrest situation.

However, I have seen no evidence that indicates that Zimmerman is the one who turned this event beligerent. And since Zimmerman is the one who is in potential legal jeopardy, evidence has to be produced that he turned the event into a beligerent confrontation in order to counter his claim of self-defense. This law, although not directly applicable to Zimmerman, does show that Florida considers neighborhood watch activities to be subject to special legal protections.

I think Spike Lee and Rosanne Barr should be arrested as well for giving out information intended to harm innocent people. My Lord, giving out a home address so that the family can be harassed or maybe even killed. What gutter slime they are. What utter morons. Words can’t describe how digusting these two are and the rest of their ilk.

Bondi has been a bit busy in DC this week. IIRC she is the lead AG on Obambicare.

OTOH her office should be large enough to multitask.

Martin was committing felony assault, with the stated purpose of homicide.

Would it make a difference that Z is the “head” of his neighborhood watch group and was just on the phone reporting a suspicious incident. (Young man, not known in community, was not using sidewalk and street but was moving in and out of structures. Burglaries had been an issue in community)

From post 7:

or intimidate an identifiable member of a neighborhood crime watch program

I don't think Martin had any kind of outwardly-visible indication that he was on neighborhood watch.

Lee’s and Barr’s actions are the equivalent of an Imam’ s “fatwa”!
Issue the instructions to no one in particular, knowing “the faithful” will pick up the contract.

We don’t know if anything was written on GZ’s jacket.

True enough. The facts will come out, not that such matters to those who have already passed judgement on Zimmerman.

IMO there is much more material that the public is not privy to. Here is what has been released:

http://sanfordfl.gov/investigation/trayvon_martin.html

Listened again to the 911 tapes early this AM. “John” who was interviewed by TV reporter and said he called 9-11 is not on the list. He gave physical description of both and of what he saw of the incident. Another caller mentions the “wrestling” and man in white shirt on top.

The young man whose mother is making the rounds saying her son saw nothing is supported by the call made by the boy’s sister. He can be heard in the background apologizing for not going to help the man yelling “help”, but his dog got loose and when he heard the gun went home. (Had someone call 911.)

Looked at the entire video tape (It too is on the page listed under “consolidated video”) No grass on back of GW, He’s cleaned up. Officers take several sacks (evidence) out of trunk. Are they GZ’s clothes?

she passed it to an underling. The current state wide prosecutor is a famous for prosecuting a 12 year old as an adult.

The sad fact of this case is that truth is no longer an issue, evidence is no longer an issue. This is ONLY about sacrificing zimmerman at the altar of hooddie racism.

Actually, one of those burglaries had been a home invasion. You have one of those happen in your neighborhood you'll probably want to go find out how many adult children the local Section 8 family has.

Surprising the number of visitors to such folk end up shopping at the neighbors.

We had a Iraqi defector (a former general) discover a home invasion in progress ~ a group of adult men were terrorizing his daughters.

He eventually moved away to somewhere else, but the police reported he did a great job in identifying and disposing of the invaders.

Did it without a firearm too. Iraq has always been a tough place at the top. The Section 8 folks moved away as well.

Same was true for the Duke lacrosse players. Nifong pushed his case but without the benefit of supporting evidence. It got him just deserts.

The harder she pushes, the more real evidence does become an issue - and if she decides to press charges, she'll be cutting against the judgment of the law enforcement community that she has to interact with.

then maybe Lee and Barr’s personal addresses and phone numbers should be published as well. fatwa begets fatwa.
